Students can develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts when they are allowed to participate in the discovery of the concept rather than simply being lectured to. Learn about specific activities and assignments that the presenter has used in his own classroom to help students participate in the discovery of algebraic concepts.

Description: Students can develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts when they are allowed to participate in the discovery of the concept rather than simply being lectured to. Learn about specific activities and assignments that the presenter has used in his own classroom to help students participate in the discovery of algebraic concepts. For example, you can learn to use Desmos to help students discover how to graph new functions such as quadratic functions or to learn how translations affect the graph of a function through experimentation. Interested in the flipped classroom strategy? Learn how Youtube videos can be used in conjunction with an online homework system to help students learn basic fundamentals outside of the classroom before a topic is covered in class, allowing students to discover material before you discuss it with them. There will also be a discussion of providing students with the answer to a new problem, and then asking students to determine the procedure used to solve the problem.
